First Rock Point 😲

(1/2) > >>

Knotty:
Hey guys,
Not sure if this is the appropriate section of the forum to post this..
Well, I had some free time and I decided to do something I had NEVER done before: Work on rock.

I was lucky enough to have a few pieces of rock in Brazilian it's called "Ardosia" ,
I don't know if I did it right , but I'm surely happy about my work.
It's nothing compared to the beauties that I see in this forum, but it's sharp, durable (I hope) and does it's job just about fine, so here is a picture of it!

PS: Sorry I didn't take a picture of the point only, I was too excited about it and forgot! 😂

By the way, it's surely addictive I probably won't stop any time soon.


Please give me some feedback and critique, that's what makes me better.

nclonghunter:
That rock looks like a slate or shale. You are correct it is addictive. As I said, have fun with it.

Knotty:
Yes that's the rock, slate!
I guess I can only get better at it 😉

le0n:
neat.

those look like abrasion patterns.

are you cutting with a diamond blade?

Knotty:
No, I did most of the work by pressure flaking , at the end I used some sand paper to make it a little smoother and finished it off with a small file (that may be it)

Tomorrow I'll try something with glass, should be better looking I hope 😊

Thanks for your feedback @le0n
